About Fressy Bessie

To look at the shelves in a typical grocery store, you’d think it was impossible to make meals or treats – even so-called healthy ones – without a long list of ‘extra’ ingredients. But we’re here to tell you (and show you) that it’s not.

Fressie Bessy began in 2014 when I was looking for a new path. Inspired by my love of food and commitment to feeding my daughter healthy, home-prepared fruits and vegetables (all of which she loved), I started making baby food and selling it at local farmer’s markets.

One warm summer day, I got the bright idea to freeze some of my leftover purees in small baggies, pop sticks into them, and sell them as (very rudimentary!) popsicles. People LOVED them and, just like that, our flagship product was born.

We create all of our products in a certified commercial kitchen right here in Toronto using fresh, local, in-season ingredients, the majority of which are organic. (This means we end up doing crazy things like pureeing and deep-freezing 12 giant buckets worth of local apples in a day – but it’s 100% worth it when our customers tell us all year round that our apple lollies taste just like biting into a fresh fall apple!)

Our team

Fressie Bessy is a family-run operation led by yours truly, and supported by my husband David, daughter Alexandra, and a small hard-working staff.
